Do I want to get WM1000 or WM425? To use for woodworking as extra bench. Small furniture building, home improvement projects. concerned about c

There are some quality concerns about the 425. I am very happy with the 1000. Catch it on sale and you can't go wrong. It is a little larger than the 425 so you need a little more room to store it height-wise - about 6 more inches.

I've used both. WM1000 is larger but easier to handle. They are different animals.

In a word, no - you need the 170W version. With it you get a "spare" 170W power supply, and that difference accounts for the higher price. I have a W520.

I am sure you received an answer to this question, but I'll answer anyway. The SE425 IS the same machine as the SE400. The 425 was a special package that is a 400 with an extra disc of 100 designs. Otherwise, it's the same machine and all SE400 items will fit it.

this nailer good to hold wood till glue sets. the kreg system sold here and elsewhere is best(using screws and glue) for shelves and cabinets. benches can be found in unfinished kit form....might be cheaper...or google free bench plans, park bench plans, workbench plans....etc, etc. this gun is great. good for fine work such as piucture frames or not to damage molding. have a good one.....rich

Hey Tracy, where did you buy your EB305? I've been looking for one, preferrably used so it's cheaper. Thanks.

I used 5/8 particle board on a 4'x4' bench and 3/4 plywood (good quality) on a 2'x8' bench. They are both very strong. I built the 4'x8' bench first, if I had it to do over I would just get the 5/8 particle board for both and save the money.

Buy a three or four - you won't be sorry and can always use it in the future. It will make such a difference and is so good for the wood, you will be glad to have it on hand and not wait for a reorder.

Not sure what was meant by that comment. I have not had any problems with the unit. It has worked great. I use it for a couple of hours every day for my on-line woodworking business.

The only negative is that the bags supplied only filter to 35 microns. I bought an after market bag that filters to 3 microns. This will decrease the advertised air flow, but it is insignificant. My unit works just fine.

Chris L. I purchased this saw & stand a few days ago. I received the WST05 stand. Everything arrived in excellent condition, I'm very happy with the saw and stand.

I bought one Wilmar portable workbench and although it is ok for light work, will not recommend it for the work you want yo do, which sounds heavier..it's similar to the Workmate and not as sturdy as a fixed workbench..for the work I do is more than reasonable.

It is a nice drill (Makita), but with the reviews from others I would not get this model- there was a problem with manufacturing (drill bits wobble)- luckily mine was fine, but it got lost, so I got another model (Makita LXPH05) - this one is great- for a little more money though, it also has bigger batteries and other features my other one didn't.. He'll love you for this (Makita LXPH05)..

This is from another user and it is correct. DW735X 13" vs DW734 12.5" 22 days ago There are several differences. The 734 is a lower end machine that is like the Delta, Ridgid and several other similar models. It does have three cutters versus two for the other ones, which is a plus. It has a capacity that is 1/2 longer, which is a slight plus. It has a more efficient dust removal system which includes a fan to blow out the dust. It is an overall beefier machine that is designed for more of a semi-pro environment. It also has two feed speeds, which is nice for rough work and for finish work. For me, the biggest plus, and the deciding factor, was that I could buy professional quality carbide knives for the 735. Not that I cut so much wood, but carbide lasts forever and just works so much better than the disposable steel blades. Show Less 22 days ago by Arnie Berger I think you would be happier with the 735 dhildebrand

The $180 saw has a magnesium housing, rather than composite. It makes the saw quite a bit lighter, and probably more durable. Apparently, it also comes with a retractable hook. As far as the motor and performance go, I believe the two models are identical.I would base my purchasing decision on who will be using the saw, and how it will be used. If you need to make lots of one-handed cuts, or if you will be having someone that doesn't own the saw using it, I would probably spring for the mag model. If it's just you using it, and you are mindful of your tools, I think you will be perfectly satisfied with the $130 model. The $180 saw has a magnesium housing, rather than composite.

Glad to help. Amazon is a great source for bits; there are many configurations, the dovetail being the most common one to start out with. Straight bits are good for box joints, and other bits can be used for other, more decorative joints. Again, be sure to use a piloted (bearing) bit for every one. Also, the more power your router has, the smoother the cuts will be and therefore, the more satisfactory your end results will be. I highly recommend doing some google searches for online info on how to use routers, guides, and jigs. There are plenty of online communities for woodworkers, too. Best of luck! Glad to help.

If you build cabinets, furniture or any think to do with joining wood the one I would recommend is the K4 or K5. The K5 is the newer version which incorporates some innovative additions. The other jigs in the system are more portable, but a lot slower to use. The K4 is perfectly adequate for my shop. Buying the kit and the "briefcase" of screws will get you up and rolling fast. The video is very enlightening. Good luck. The R3 Jr. is fine for casual use and some specialty uses as explained in the offering but if you do a lot of woodworking with Kreg the K4 & 5 are more accurate and repeatable.
